I've never been a wearer of slippers. Actually socks, shoes, and other protective foot gear are avoided. As frequently as possible, I resort to shoes that I can just slip on. In the house my habit was to go barefoot. When one lives in a cold dry environment and one has dry feet the harsh environment means runnels and cracks at the heel, ball of the foot, and toes.

A couple of years ago I started wearing socks, it helps. Then, in 2005, my parents got everyone slippers for Christmas. My feet thought they went to heaven. When I realized how nice it is to walk without aching heels - I was converted.

Oh ~ I love slippers! *Hate* cold feet! And I'm ever so lucky because slippers make the perfect present when little ones are Christmas shopping. I *often* end up with a lovely pair under the Christmas tree. ;o)

The girls are studying Swimming Creatures for our Apologia Science curriculum this year. This book was a great read along. Apart from some evolutionary comments and the poor quality of the paper, I have no complaints. Cleave writes beaut...

About Me

Light is meaningful only in relation to darkness,
and truth presupposes error.
It is these mingled opposites which people our life,
which make it pungent,
intoxicating.
We only exist
in terms of this conflict,
in the zone
where black and white clash. Louis Aragon
